Port Macquarie offers some of the best opportunities for whale watching in Australia. Humpbacks with their newborn calves alongside and sometimes dolphins pass close to Port Macquarie on their migration from May to November each year. The dolphins swim right into the port and up the hasting river though out the year.

You can enjoy great boat trips, just step from the front door of Sails Resort by Rydges Port Macquarie to see these whales.
